You miss the point. The Great Sailorman doesn't know how to tie a
square knot.
Cheers,




Square knot? Bwahhahahahahha. We real sailors use a bowline knot.


Wilbur Hubbard


You tie a bowline? To connect two lines? In a shoelace?

As Salty says, you are certainly two cards less then a full deck.

Cheers,

(Translation: He doesn't know how to tie a bow knot) My six year old
grand daughter has the same problem.




And, poor ole grandfather doesn't even know sailors call it a bowline knot.
Or do you perhaps wear a bow in your hair?

LOL


Wilbur Hubbard


Willie, it can't be a bowline now, can it? It has two "bows" in it so
it must be a double bowline? And since it isn't tied in the end of a
line it must be in the bight so a "double bowline in a bight"?

You certainly are losing it, aren't you.

Cheers,

Bruce

It's not really a secret. :-)
Yes but those reactors are the size of a trawler, not sized for a
trawler. My idea of small scale is something that fits in a large
closet or similar.
I think hydrogen fuel cells have a lot more promise for this
application! Maybe just a few years away.
I hope you're right.

It would certainly open up some possibilities!



Oh, look! :-)

Amazing how a 12V aquarium bubbler can turn some clear tubes attached to
an air cleaner into a "hydrogen generator" at the flip of a switch.
Kinda how them "water injection" systems turn an gasoline powered ICE
into a steam engine.
Where can I get a deal on either one of them?
Feeling gullible today.

Jim - Most suckers weren't born yesterday.

Don't even need to chase the link. There is no such thing as HHO,
although there is HOH, ordinary water.

Given the HuHa there is over a little crude in the water down the Gulf
can you even begin to imagine the amount of regulation there would be
about your very own little atomic pile? If they get all excited about
a little diesel oil in the water what will they say about your
radioactive cooling water - I assume cooling will be similar to a
marine air conditioner water in - water out. And everyone "knows" that
those 'tomic places all leak that there radio stuff.
